In a shady back alley somewhere within the large city of Tokyo, two members of the Inquisitorius were making there way to an unknown bar. "Are you sure we can trust these people?" The Ninth Sister asked. "We shouldn't even be here. We SHOULD be hunting this Jedi instead!"
She was silenced though when she felt a tightening around her throat. "I'd advise you to remain quiet." The man who she was traveling with snapped back in response. "Lord Vader personally sent us here. Since it's not known to the Empire we have to remain in the shadows for now."
As they arrived at there destination the man knocked on the door. "Enter."
They entered to find a man made out of dark purple mist standing behind a bar cleaning a glass. He was wearing an elegant grey waistcoat and black tie. Around his neck there was a metal brace that went from his collarbone to just below his glowing yellow eyes. "Ah, you must be our master's guests. Welcome."
Chapter 9: UA Entrance Exam Arc Part 2
It's had been several weeks since Izuku and Izumi were last in UA. Since then they had both trained there hardest to improve as best as they could in that short amount of time. Although they did have several rough bumps along the way.
[Flashback]
"Today along with welcoming Izuku back to our class, we're also pleased to introduce a new student as well." Izuku's homeroom teacher happily called out to his class. The classroom soon broke out into mummers.
"Please introduce yourself to the class." Soon after the doors opened to reveal Izumi wearing the Aldera Junior High girl's uniform.
"Hello, my n-name's Izumi Midoriya. It's nice to meet you. I hope we can get along."
"Oh it's a girl Deku!" One of the male students shouted out.
"Is she your cousin or something Deku?"
"The truth is I'm actually a different version of Izuku. I got trapped in this world after a Villain's quirk attacked me." Izumi softly replied in embarrassment.
This then prompted Katsuki to bark out in laughter. "HA! Looks like Deku's still a loser in other worlds as well! Ahahaha!"
However Katsuki's laughter was cut short as Izuku landed a heavy haymaker to the left side of his face sending him flying off his seat and crashing into a nearby table. This action stunned the entire classroom with an eerie silence.
'Who had the balls to throw that punch at me?!' Katsuki angerly thought to himself. But when he looked back at his seat he seen Izuku looking down at him. However in all the years he had known Izuku he had never seen the current look his face held. It could only be described as a demonic rage.
"Deku." Katsuki growled out but was stopped when Izuku stepped up to him and pulled him into the air by the scruff of his collar.
"Listen here, Katsuki Bakugo." Katsuki's eyes widened when he heard Izuku called him by his first name.
"I don't care if you bully me. I don't care if anyone else in this class bullies me. However... Izumi has been through hell and as far as i'm concerned she's been my sister since she came to this world." A low growl was then heard from Izuku as he continue'd. "So if you so much as even think about bullying Izumi, I will know. And I will break you."
Izuku then dropped the stunned Katsuki on his ass.. The classroom was quite as Izuku took his seat again and smiled back at Izumi. "P-please take a s-seat in the back row Miss M-midoriya." The teacher stuttered as he pointed at a seat two rows behind Izuku.
Bowing down to her new teacher Izumi quickly made her way down to her new seat. However as she passed Izuku she managed to whisper a thank you to him.
'He's changed... What the fuck kind of training did that Gaijin put you through Deku?' Katsuki thought to himself as he glared at Izuku.
[Flashback End]
Izuku was thankful that Izumi wasn't bothered by anyone after that day. She had even made several friends, she could've boasted to have more friends than him, another thing that he was grateful over. However his relationship with Bakugo had nose dived to being even worse that what it was before. Thankfully though Izuku seemed to be able to somewhat drown out his normal rants.
But his mind was now currently focused on Izumi's mini panic attack. "I ate the hair but i'm not feeling any of it's effects right now." Izumi softly stated to Izuku so one one else nearby would hear.
"You'll be fine. We've both made it this far. This is just the last step for us to take." Izuku replied. "Come on we'd best enter otherwise we might still be late."
"Out of my way Deku!" Katsuki shouted from behind.
"Would it kill you to not be an asshole?" Izuku asked with a raised eyebrow.
A "Fuck off." Was Katsuki's elegant reply as he bumped his shoulder into Izuku and kept walking on by.
"Well he seems to be in a great mood." Izuku grumbled to himself as he dusted off his shoulder. "Come on Izumi." Izuku stated as he walked forwards along with Izumi.
However Izumi tripped over her own feet as began to fall forward. 'So this is it for me then.' Izumi thought to herself but she looked down only to find that she was floating mid air. "Huh!?"
"Sorry about using my quirk on you." The two Midoriyas looked beside Izumi to see a girl with Auburn hair help Izumi back to her feet. "It would've be bad luck if you fell."
"T-thank you." Izumi meekly responded as she bowed to the girl.
"Your quirk's amazing. Does it effect gravity's effect on an object? is it touch or thought activated?" Izuku asked the girl with a sparkle in his eyes.
"Haha." The girl nervously laughed as a small blush appeared on her cheeks. "Well my quirks called Gravity and it's touch activated."
"That's amazing. You're quirk would be amazing as a rescue hero!" Izumi responded with the same sparkle that Izuku had.
"T-thank you." The girl blushed as Izumi joined in complementing her quirk.
"Oh sorry about that, me and my sister are kind of Quirk otakus. My name's izuku Midoriya and this is my twin sister Izumi. I'm the older one hehe." Izuku chuckled as he rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. "Thank you for helping my sister out when she fell."
"Oh it's fine and my name's Ochaco Uraraka. I hope we'll be able to pass. That way i'll know a few friends before we start here." Ochaco replied to both Midoriyas.
Izumi and Izuku both nodded "Yeah let's do our best." They both said at the exact same time.
"Wow, you guys are so in sync." Ochaco smiled back as the two Midoriyas nervously chuckled as the trio entered UA.
(UA's Auditorium)
"Welcome to today's live performance!" UA's Teacher Present Mic shouted out to all the students within the Auditorium as he began his presentation. "Everybody give me a HEY!"
However his attempts were only meet with silence. "Well, that's cool my examinee listeners! I'm here to present the guidelines of your practical exam! ARE YOU READY?!"
Once more he was greeted by silence. "This is how the test will go down, my listeners! You'll be experiencing 10 minute long mock cityscape maneuvers!" Behind present mic the screen several different blocks. They were labelled alphabetically A through to G.
"Bring along what ever you want! After this presentation you'll each head to your assigned testing location!" Izumi looked down and found that she and Izuku were both going to be in different test sites.
Izumi was going to Block B while Izuku was in Block E. "Looks like we're in different Blocks." Izuku stated.
"Yeah, but there's only a 1 number difference between our ID numbers as well." Izumi continue'd.
"Most likely it's to prevent students from the same school helping each other out." Izuku replied before smirking back at Izumi. "Don't worry though, I know you'll get through with out any help anyway."
"Will you two nerds shut up." Katsuki growled as he clicked his tongue.
"Each site is filled with three kinds of Faux Villains. Points are awarded for defeating each according to their respective difficulty levels!" Present Mic explained as the board behind him showed the shadow outlines of the three main faux villains. Each labelled with their scores of 1, 2 and 3.
"Of course playing the antihero and attacking other examiness is prohibited." Present Mic explained as Izuku turned to face Katsuki and gave the boy a knowing smirk.
Katsuki growled at Izuku in response before another student stood up from within the crowd. "May I ask a question?!"
"There appears to be no fewer than four varieties of faux villains on this handout!" The boys stated out loud to Present Mic.
The boy himself appeared to be wearing a more formal student uniform continue'd. "Such a blatant error, if it is one, is highly unbecoming for UA, Japan's top Academy. We're all here today in the hopes of being moulded into model heroes!"
The boy then turned around and looked directly at both Izuku and Izumi. "And you two with the green curly hair!"
With everyone's attention now on the two Midoriyas, Izuku raised an eyebrow to this attention while Izumi attempted to make herself appear smaller and hide herself. "You've both been muttering to each other this whole time. It's distracting!"
The boy continue'd as he glared at them. "If this is a sort of game to you then please leave immediately!"
"Sorry." Izumi meekly responded as she covered her mouth.
"Hey! Everyone deals with pressure differently, I'm only helping calm and motivate my sister down before the exam!" Izuku shouted back to the boy.
"Alright, alright. Everyone calm down. Examinee 7111, nice catch!" Present Mic shouted out in order to just calm things down.
"But the fourth faux villain will only get you 0 points. He's more of an obstacle! Have you ever played Super Mario Brothers?!" Present Mic explained. "It's kind of like a Thwomp! There's one in each each site."
"It'll be a gimmick that'll rampage around in close quarters! But I have to warn you all as destroying it will reset your score back to 0 points." The smile on Present Mic's face darkened slightly as he finsihed. "But for now, that's all for me! I'll leave my listeners with our school motto."
"The great hero Napoleon Bonaparte once said, True heroism consists in being superior to the ills of life. So go beyond Plus Ultra!" Present Mic smirked as he finished off with the final words of encouragement. "Break a leg everyone!"
(Izumi)
Standing outside of Block B's opening gate Izumi swallowed the lump in her throat. "This place is huge!" Izumi stated to herself out loud.
"It's like a whole city!"
"And they've got 6 more or these areas as well!"
"How much did it cost UA to build this?!"
As Izumi could hear the other students state out there own amazement she looked around at the other competitors. 'Why's everyone so confident?! Even Izuku was as well. Why aren't they all nervous?' Izumi thought to herself.
'Well Izuku did say everyone deals with pressure differently. But he's me or I'm him?.. This is too confusing.' Izumi slumped down to her nervousness.
She then noticed Ochaco was in the same block as herself. But as he made her way over to her friend she felt a hand hold onto her shoulder. she looked over to find that it was the boy who called her out in the Auditorium earlier. 'Oh no, it's him!'
"That girl seems to be doing some kind of meditation." The boy stated to Izumi. "Why are you here? Hoping to interfere?"
'And you're not!' Izumi thought to herself as she began to panic. "Why are you being mean to me?" Izumi asked as she felt her eyes being to swell slightly.
The boy quickly and suddenly removed his hand and was starting to get flustered himself. "My apologises I didn't mean to upset you."
"I'm sorry it's just i'm really nervous and I know her so I was hoping talking to her would be able to help." Izumi replied as began to settle down before she lightly bowed. "I'm sorry if I was causing any trouble."
"No, no, it's fine. I'm the one who must apologise. I can see why your brother." The boy did not get to finish as all the examinees heard a voice call out to them.
(Same Time - Izuku)
As Izuku began to stretch and warm up his muscles he took his time and surveyed those other examinees around him. 'A lot of negative thoughts around this place.' Izuku thought to himself.
But there was one student that stood out more than the others. His thoughts were mixing with the complete opposite of one another. At one hand he was pumping himself up through self motivation, while he had a strong amount of self doubt in his own quirk.
Izuku knew that he'd question himself after if he didn't try to help and made his way over to the boy. "Hey, you good?"
"What's it to you?" The boy asked with half-closed eyes.
"Part of my quirk is sensing emotions in others. And you're emotions are currently jumping up and down after than a yo-yo. I just thought i'd try and help." Izuku explained. "I'm Izuku Midoriya."
The boy looked at Izuku's extended hand for a brief moment before shaking it. "Hitoshi Shinso."
"It's nice to meet you Shinso. But don't worry about the exam. You've trained this far to get here. So you should be confidant in your abilities. Don't doubt yourself or your abilities." Izuku stated with a smile on his face.
"I doubt that. I haven't really got a flashy quirk y'know." Hitoshi dryly replied.
"It's not the quirk that makes the hero." Izuku quickly responded.
Hitoshi seemed to respond to those words more than Izuku was expecting as his eye's appeared to widen. Izuku could sense what he was about to ask next so he decide to answer before the question was even stated. "My teacher more or less said those words to me once. Well... Not me exactly, more of to my former bully."
"What if your quirk's brainwashing?" Hitoshi asked.
Izuku's eyes then widened, Hitoshi thought this and began to think negatively but when he noticed the sparkle in Izuku's eyes that followed he became confused. "You'd be perfect for helping out in hostage situations." Izuku stated to Hitoshi.
"I can only plant a thought in someone's mind but if they have a strong will then they can reject it. How strong is your quirk, how does it work?" Izuku asked before he heard Present Mic cut Hioshi off from answering.
"And BEGIN!" Present Mic shouted out to the crowd.
However the examinees along with Izuku were still standing around confused. "What's wrong? The test's already started! Were you all expecting a countdown or something?! Go! Run! Run! Run! THE DICE ARE ALREADY ROLLING BABY! YEEEEEEEAAAAHHH!"
Izuku looked around and noticed the other examinees dash off leaving him and Hitoshi behind. "Come on!" Izuku shouted as he ran off towards the entrance gate. "Come on Shinso! Let's do our best!"
And Cut!
Right so there has been a lot of feedback with Izumi's introduction some of it positive, some of it negative. It was a curve ball so I did expect this type of mixed response. So I'm going to expand my reasoning a bit more behind my reasoning.
I added Izumi to this story and it was planned out from the start. Now 2 addressed my introduction by saying that it didn't make sense. I can understand your view point as MHA and Star Wars doesn't really merge well for a crossover story. Not like MHA with say Iron Man or Spiderman were we can just write off by saying it's part or is a quirk. I can't write that when using the Force, so there is going to be a little bit of push and pull when some events do play out. (Pardon the pun of course)
Normally I do like to play my cards close to my chest but this story isn't written on a chapter by chapter bases. Currently I have this planned out up to the start of Season 4 of the Anime. So before I begin writing down I know that I'll have fully carved out each arc and the chapters with each arc. Now they do get worked on before being released so little tweaks can be made here and there so I do react to all your reviews, PMs and so on. This is so i can explain at the end of chapters what my reasons may be for certain things. In this case, my reasons behind the inclusion of Izumi.
A) Izumi was planned to follow Izuku's cannon plot points, as this version of Izuku will be not be his normal character all times. This is to allow you all to compare Izuku in this story with his cannon counterpart. Now there will be moments and I know that some may not like it where Izuku won't act or react like Izuku normally would. He's still going to be that same self sacrificing hero we all know and love but for this i'm referring to future events that have yet to unfold in this story.
B) Also Izumi is meant to replace Mineta from Class 1-A. I'm personally not a big fan of the character, but I know there would be a light following for him out there so I'll confirm now that I do have something in mind for the character. So he will be used at some point so he isn't going to be fully removed from the story or plot at this stage.
C) The third reason for Izumi to be in this story is so that it allows me to have a door or pathway other than his mother Inko that could lead Izuku towards the dark side of the Force. As I've stated in previous chapters I hate the idea of writing a Mary Sue and that extends to both cannon and OC characters. I prefer flawed characters as it gives me something to really work with and mold around a plot point or idea I may have for an arc or chapter. There is a darkness to Nichos just like there will be for Izuku.
D) If I had used Izumi right from the start, I felt it would've been too much at one time for this story. Personally I felt it would've ended up having the story look like a clusterfuck and just thrown together at one time.
Additionally, while MHA might not have introduced or brought up the idea of alternate timelines/realities in the Manga/Anime (It could be possible as we don't know every quirk) there is something within Star Wars. As we have two technically different timelines/realities with both Disney Cannon and Legends. But I will admit that I copped out and used a Quirk to explain her arrival. A little bit of myself in annoyed that I had to use that if i'm honest, but it was the easiest way.
I'm sorry if you're reading this and it looks like i'm having a little bit of a rant. I'm not, but i felt that you guys/gals deserved a bit of a better explanation that the one I first gave. So without any more delay let's introduce this chapter's Q&A!
1) What made you decide Izumi to come here and have her be the inheritor instead of Mirio? I love Mirio, I think he's an awesome character and he's fun to write. But Izumi will be acting as Izuku's cannon story for me so she'll be using OFA.
2) Will the Inquisitors tempt Izuku to the dark side with some varying success like getting him real angry? To a point yes, how it happens though has yet to be revealed.
So that's all for this chapter folks. If you have a questions do feel free to post a review or PM myself. If I don't answer your question on next chapter's Q&A I will try to reply via PM. No spoiler question though, they won't be given full answers. But anyway thank you for reading this chapter. I hope you've all enjoyed it. Till next time!
